V. Learning Content/s “Formal and Informal Definitions”

includes as much information as it can, consisting of three parts, (1)
term, (2) the part of speech to which it belongs, and (3) all the traits or
characteristics that are specific to that term.
Informal definitions are known words or examples that explain an
unknown term as introduced by or, in other word, or like.

When writers are trying to explain an unfamiliar idea, they rely on

definitions. All definitions attempt to explain or clarify a term. This
lesson will introduce you to the two types of definitions: formal and
informal.
 Formal Definitions
A formal definition is the denotation or the literal meaning that consists
of three parts: the term, the part of speech to which it belongs, such as
a noun or a verb, and all the traits or characteristics that are specific to
that term. The dictionary is filled with formal definitions, but it is not the
only place where you will find them. Writers often include formal
definitions when they are writing about something that may be
unfamiliar to their readers. In textbooks, you may find the formal
definition of terms listed at the beginning, at the end of a chapter, or in
the glossary, which is a minidictionary of terms relevant to that text.

Informal Definitions
An informal definition is the connotation of the word or term. A term
has only one literal definition but may have a lot of connotations. In an
informal definition, the writer uses known words or examples to explain
an unknown term. These definitions may be synonyms or antonyms
introduced by or, in other words, or like.

4. Elaborate The class will be asked to answer this practice exercise to develop
(10 minutes) mastery of the lesson.
I WAVE YOU- TO THE LEFT OR TO THE RIGHT!
Direction: As a group activity, judge whether the given definition is
formal or informal. If it is formal, wave your hands to the right and if
informal, wave your hands to the left. Then have one or two student/s
to defend their claim.
1. Nighthawk is a recurring thought that only seems to strike you
late at night—an overdue task, a nagging guilt, a looming and
shapeless future—that circles high overhead during the day, that
pecks at the back of your mind while you try to sleep, that you
can successfully ignore for weeks, only to feel its presence
hovering outside the window, waiting for you to finish your
coffee, passing the time by quietly building a nest.
2. Catalyst: /ˈkad(ə)ləst/ noun, is a substance that increases the
rate of a chemical reaction without itself undergoing any
permanent chemical change.
3. When my friend Katrice was young, she disobeyed her parents
near Christmas. I don't recall the crime, but I do recall the
consequence. When she woke up on Christmas morning, there
were no presents for her under the tree from "Santa Claus." To
make matters worse, she had to watch her younger siblings open
all their presents in front of her. Santa did not come for Katrice
that year because she was on the "naughty list." While her
parents may well still stand by their decision, Katrice maintains
that she was the victim of cruel and unusual punishment. I tend
to agree, as it seems that the consequences were too drastic for
any child, no matter how naughty she may have been.
 4. Stan: /stan/ noun, is a crazed and or obsessed fan. The term
comes from the song Stan by Eminem. The term Stan is used to
describe a fan who goes to great lengths to obsess over a
celebrity.
5. True freedom is a state where the bars of bondage do not exist.

Have them watch a short video on The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows.

Asks students questions and encourage them to raise questions too.

It is important for you to be able to understand new terms and

ideas that you encounter both in your college and professional lives.
While you may be able to understand an entire text without knowing
what one or two words in the text are, you could also be easily
confused.
For instance, if you read an article about whaling that uses the
word "moratorium" and you think that a "moratorium" is a special type
of aquarium, your understanding of the entire passage will be hindered
since "moratorium" actually refers to the freezing, pausing, or halting of
something, in this case the practice of whaling. Imagine if you then used
the word "aquarium" when you should have used "moratorium." You
run the risk of embarrassment if you use it with someone who knows
the actual meaning; even worse, you could pass on incorrect
information to another individual who would then be equally
misinformed. Both situations can be avoided when you are able to
identify the correct definition.

5. Evaluate A. EXTRACT ME THEN MAKE ME WHOLE!

(20 minutes)
Directions: From the pictures flashed on the screen, extract an
idea/word then give both formal and informal definition for each. Have
your answers in complete sentences, emphasizing the three parts for in
the case of formal definitions. Do this in the same groups. Choose one
